Sophomore Elayna Bowser burst onto the scene last season as a rookie, finishing with a 79.8 stroke average in 29 rounds. This season, Bowser has continued that success without missing a beat.
Through six rounds in two tournaments, she is averaging 78.3 strokes, and she placed fifth at the Loyola Fall Invitational Sept. 19-20. Bowser helped her team finish at the top of the leaderboards for the first time this season.
But the numbers don’t fully capture what Bowser means to her fellow Ramblers. Loyola women’s golf head coach Carly Schneider said one of her favorite characteristics about Bowser is her ability to be a determined player and still have fun.
